The Delhi Development Authority (DDA), in its authority meeting chaired by Lieutenant-Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, approved a series of projects aimed at transforming Delhi’s urban landscape and promoting inclusive development across the city.

The meeting saw approvals for several key initiatives, including changes in land use for the development of land pooling areas, redevelopment of old staff quarters, launch of new housing schemes, creation of sports and educational hubs in Narela, and extension of major urban development policies.

To expedite the implementation of Delhi’s Land Pooling Policy, the Authority approved the change of land use for 40.23 hectares of land.

The policy, which covers 105 urban villages across six planning zones, seeks to promote participatory development. Sector 8B in Planning Zone P-II has become the first Sector to achieve 70 per cent contiguous pooled land, making it eligible for development.
